Any electrical repair in your home involves turning off the power to the circuit you'll be working on, and you do this at the main electrical service panel. You may know the service panel as the breaker box, while in the trade it's officially called a load center.  

The main service panel is like the switchboard for all the electricity in the home. It receives the incoming power from the utility company and distributes it to each of the circuits that supply the various lights,  outlets, appliances, and other devices throughout the house. Everything but the incoming utility power can be shut off and turned on at the main service panel.  

  Replacing your main electrical panel because of age or deterioration is the perfect time to evaluate the size of your service and spacing in your main electrical panel. We often recommend upgrading to a bigger service and panel if you are considering renovations or for future electrical needs. 

 Laying out your future plans when it comes to the electricity in your home must be considered to avoid additional expenses when the time comes for upgrades. Making sure that a qualified experienced electrician does the work is just, if not more, important to avoid future problems.  

Protecting the service entrance cable from physical damage, properly grounding the main electrical system and where and how to mount and dress the panel are a few of the essentials that if not done correctly may cost a homeowner in the future. For all of your electrical needs contact your licensed electrician Connect Power.
